The end of the road for my brother
last week I sat holding my 57 year old brother’s hand whilst he passed away from a complication due to alcoholic liver disease. I cared for him for 3 years and it was very hard. Just wanted to say thanks as this site has been useful when I was doing research re transplants.

Vaccinations for covid19 done after Transplant: if you got covid19, what were symptoms and outcome
My spouse had his transplant 3.5 yrs ago and we both received our covid19 vaccination/booster shots afterwards. If you got covid19, what were your symptoms and outcome. If you know how you got it, please share. We have been living very isolated for 3.5 yrs. We do not go into anyone's house or allow them

My husband has a bad rash
My husband (64) had NASH cirrhosis and had a
liver
transplant
in 2017, when they also found he had cancer of the liver. His new liver now has fatty deposits as his Diabetes seems out of control.

🥱🥱🥱 and sleep!
I have just had a
liver
transplant
and I am struggling to sleep. I seem to wake every 4 hours and cat nap when fatigue kicks in. I have a fare idea that it is the medication. I'm just wondering if there is anything I can do without taking sleeping tablets.

Food Choices After Transplant
I am scheduled for a kidney transplant from my sister on July 6, 2022. I've been eating plant-based foods for a few months (suggestion from my nephrologist). I plan to continue the same, only adding some fish and maybe chicken. My question: Are there any diet restrictions during the period of recovery

Diabetes and liver damage
Hi again sorry for the barrage of questions. Alongside thinking I have cirrhosis I have also recently been diagnosed with diabetes. My question is - will I find it much harder to bring my diabetes under control if I have a damaged liver?

Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction Type 1 with cirrhosis of the liver
I had an Endoscopic ultrasound on Tuesday where they confirmed I have Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction (SOD) Type 1. Last week I was diagnosed with cirrhosis with a score of 22.5. I'm still not sure what this score really means except I'm in the risk category (20-25). A score over 25 is high risk. I'm a

How long were your liver enzymes elevated before diagnosis
So it’s been years of high liver enzymes for me 9 to be exact. I have a history of Hep A that cleared. My maternal aunt has PBC and my drs say it’s just most likely a matter of time before I get it. Right now my ALP is normal my auto immune markers normal just slightly elevated AST and ALT
